Abstract
Australians are the world’s biggest gamblers with the highest per capita gambling losses (Boyce, 2019). A substantial proportion (16.7%) of Australians who gamble monthly or more often have symptoms of a gambling problem. A gambling problem is defined as difficulties in limiting money and/or time spent on gambling which leads to adverse consequences for the gambler, others or the community (Armstrong & Carroll, 2017; Neal, Delfabbro, & O’Neil, 2005). Previous research has found that gambling problems are clearly and strongly linked to being a perpetrator or a victim/survivor of domestic and family violence (DFV), particularly intimate partner violence (IPV) (Dowling et al., 2014; Dowling et al., 2019). Given that gambling problems in Australia are widespread, a detailed understanding of the nature of the relationship between gambling and IPV is needed to inform appropriate interventions to reduce this violence against women.1
